Our editors hand-pick related products using a variety of criteria: direct competitors targeting the same market segment, or devices that are similar in size, performance, or feature sets.
Though there are still some hotly anticipated titles due in 2016, we might already have the game of the year on our hands. Overwatch has been on our radar for a while now but it recently blew up in a big way with an open beta that attracted over 9...
Early this year we compared AMD's $150 quad-core FX-8320E processor with Intel's $150 Core i3-4360 and $185 Core i5-4430. On paper it looked like a no brainer: the FX-8320E boasts 8 threads capable of running at up to 4GHz out of the box and is fully...
Yes, the Core i3 6100 blows away its nearest competition with single core performance. It even matches the multi-threaded capabilities of the FX-6300, only falling short to the i5 6400. With a high clock speed and Intel's support for the latest...
Both chips retail for around the same and both are aimed at budget users. With that being said, the FX-6350 is hard to beat and having an unlocked multiplier makes the FX-6350 a much better product than the i3-6100 CPU. Not only did the Wraith cool much...
A couple of months ago we reported on ASRock releasing their SkyOC bios that allowed for overclocking non K sku Skylake cpu's by BCLK overclocking. This set the overclocking community into a bit of a frenzy as it's the been the first time since K chips...
The Intel Core i3-6100 retails at around RM 510, pretty good price if you consider you're paying just half of a Core i5-6600K and get just about half the performance. What I like about it is the low power draw, the system runs so cooling that even the...
The Core i3-6100 impresses with rapid single-core performance and as such it makes for a good choice for either a basic PC or a first option for someone looking to build a Skylake system they may upgrade at a later date.
Performance Analysis The best part of the i3-6100's specification is its single-core speed, so it's no surprise that this affordable chip excelled in benchmarks where pure pace is advantageous. It immediately punched above its weight in the Cinebench...
Apart from the odd surprise such as the Haswell-based, multiplier-unlocked Pentium G3258, Intel's CPU offerings have been consistent in terms of overclocking abilities for a number of years. We usually get two K-series models per quad-core generation...
This review tested the Core i3-6320, the i3-6300 and the i3-6100. All three differ in their base frequency in a regular fashion, going from 3.9 GHz to 3.8 GHz and 3.7 GHz respectively. The Core i3-6100 also has another two adjustments: the integrated...
